#4 Ummmm, could I please get some help here? My jaw just bounced off the floor and I think it's bruised.

What the hell does this do to the 0's mindset when his commie heros tell him it doesn't work?

#5 There is no reason to believe that we can achieve better results by shifting responsibility onto the state.

Since the state has shown it is incompetent in carrying out its regulatory powers and responsibilities already. Put integrity back into the system and people will be open to putting their money and faith back into it as well. That means you have to loudly and publicly sacrifice a few heads for the spectacle [re: Frank et al].

#7 That's a Bizzaro World moment, for sure. Putin may be a godless commie whatever, but that don't mean he's wrong. He did live thru the whole fUSSR thingie with its totally foo'ed economics, after all.

Anyone care to draw parallels between Lysenkoism and Global Warming for extra credit?

#11 Putin is a thug, a nationalist and ruthless on top of it. He is, however a realist. He knows if the US economy really heads south in a hard way, the rest of the world, including his Russia will be dragged along. This is his first warning. The next may be nukes and boomers pointed at us again to try to boost the US into rebuilding its military for some economic boost.
